Description |
Multi-storey block details: K22: one 20-storey block containing 73 dwellings; two 12-storey blocks containing 89 dwellings; M6: three 12-storey blocks containing 135 dwellings; Multi-storey block name(s): K22: Stuart House; Morrison House; Elliot House; M6: Scott House; Drummond House; Blair House; Image detail: View of Muirhead 6 and Kildrum 22 developments Original Commissioning Authority: Cumbernauld New Town Development Corporation; Image taken: 1983;Context: Tower Block UK is a project supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, bringing together public engagement and an openly-licensed image archive in an attempt to emphasise the social and architectural importance of tower blocks, and to frame multi-storey social housing as a coherent and accessible nationwide heritage. The Tower Block UK image archive is a searchable database of around 4,000 images of every multi-storey social housing development built in the UK. The photographs were largely taken in the 1980s by Miles Glendinning and are made available here for public use. As many of the blocks documented and photographed have since been demolished, the archive functions in part as a repository of information on an important aspect of UK heritage that is now vanishing. The archive itself catalogues multi-storey blocks as part of the developments within which they were initially commissioned and built. It gives details of notable dates, such as when local authorities approved the developments and when construction began or finished. Alongside this, the archive provides information on the local authorities, architects, and other agents involved in the processes of commissioning, designing, and constructing mass social housing. While the most historically 'accurate' identification labels in the database are the original overall development or project names, the archive also contains details of the individual blocks built. |

1960s possibly? As of the present date, (Feb 2023) it looks like the tower blocks have all but disappeared.
